Somewhere in the early 80's my friend Trevor's mother would up managing a Stucky's outside of Van Horn Tx. One summer i went out there to work for them. What wonderful memories I have of all the people that were on the road traveling and the local regulars that would come by for a shake and a bugger. Even though we were not in town, it did not feel like we were. Everyone stopped by with a smile on their face. It was my first work experience away from home and such great fun.

Somewhere in the early 80's my friend Trevor's mother would up managing a Stucky's outside of Van Horn Tx. One summer i went out there to work for them.

Even though we were not in town, it did not feel like we were. Everyone stopped by with a smile on their face. It was my first work experience away from home and such great fun. I still remember meeting this family from St Ingbert Germany. The thing about that is that is the same small town my grandmother is from. What a small world it is, even before the internet was around. I've look on google earth for that great little store in the middle of nowhere. But just can't find it. In my mind, it's still out there, somewhere and always will be. Hey Trevor hows radar. :) Hope life has been good to you.... Collapse

"Our family used to take yearly road trips from Iowa to Florida during the Christmas school break. My little brother and I kept our eyes peeled for Stuckey's billboards, and that's when the begging would begin! ""Dad, can we stop at Stuckey's? Pleeeease?"" Though my dad was a ""drive on through, stop for nothin'"" kind of guy, we'd eventually wear him down (my mother helped a little) and oh boy, then the happy countdown of miles began! ""Only ten more miles! Only three more miles!"" Our favorites were the hard candy sticks in zillions of flavors (we were allowed five... Read more

It's been almost 50 years, and I still look for those billboards when we travel. The excitement has never worn off!"... Collapse

I remember stopping at a Stuckeys store in the '50's when traveling to visit my Great Aunt in Rogersville, Tennessee. I was born in N.E. Georgia, and up until the middle '70's, we could find a Stuckeys. I live their Pecan Logs.

I can remember the times when we visited relatives in Illinois. My family would always stop at Stuckeys for gas and the pecan logs. I got to love it even more when you got a free box of divinity with an 8 gallon purchase. We always stopped there and when I got married and took the family to Colorado and a cross country trip to California, we seeked out the Stuckeys on the way. I also LOVED the souvenir shops there as well!

Many fond memories of our family trips from Illinois down to our vacation home in Florida. All along US RT 65 we would stop a a Stuckeys, loved the small pecan pies, and remember all the novel signs and gimmicks. Miss those days.

"We grew up in Las Vegas, NV. On Hwy 93/95 between Las Vegas and Henderson, was your store. We would go on family outings, long drives through the desert, sightseeing and exploring a few times a month. And Stuckeys was always on the way home. We lived right off the highway near your location. And we would stop for a treat/snack/food, never gas. Lol The city had grown now, and the old location is practically city center for Henderson now. Your store holds fun childhood memories for us And I wish my son could've shared in them."

As a young girl my family always stopped at Stuckey 's along the way from Ok to Pa and back. It was always an enjoyable experience. I sure miss those days. Hope to find a Stuckey's to visit again one day

Those stores along 301 closed many years ago, like in the movie "Cars", when the interstates came along it really made it hard for those stores to survive.

I remember in the early 70's moving from WI to CA and stopping at every Stuckey's along the way. Thank you for making a 3 day move enjoyable. I love all their candy but the Pecan Logs are the best. There was still one Stuckey's in Vacaville CA but it burned down in the 90's. Just the name Stuckey's brings back such good memories. I really miss them. I hope they thrive and come out west again.

I grew up in Stuckey's stores as my parents were managers in 3 stores over 8 years. 2 in Michigan and 1 in Illinois. Turned out to be my 1st job. Couldn't beat the sugar & spice pecans!

In the 1950's, My mom and her "girl friends" would make an annual Christmas shopping trip from Jonesboro AR to Memphis. One of their regular stops was the Stuckeys near Marion, AR. She would always bring us back a pecan roll to share. Our once a year treat. It is still my favorite candy.

Stopped at the Rockport Stuckey's. Haven't been in one in over 45 years. Still remember the pecan logs and how my mom always had to have one. Then it was carefully rationed out. Bought two small pecan logs and ate them both in quick order. A different taste than I recall from childhood, but still worth the walk down memory lane.

My memory is going to one in Colorado. Those pecan rolls, and Rocky Mountains made a big impression to a kid!
